French president emanuel microland says lebanon needs to form a new government quickly to get out of his deep political and economic crisis is on the 2nd day of a visit to lebanon last if i did was named Prime Minister just hours before my car landed in beirut before he met said even my own visit. Shes one of the out of the worlds most famous singers and a rare symbol of unity in lebanon its his 2nd trip to the city since an explosion killed almost 200. 00 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless lets go live to algiers it is in the heart of whos in beirut for us so 2nd visit by Emmanuel Michael what do you think the message is this time. Well france really has been projecting power and influence since mccrum became the 1st official to visit lebanon since the port explosion on august 4th just 2 days later he arrived in beirut hes now in a helicopter over the so over the bay report we understand hes going to visit beirut port shortly french teams have been helping in the investigations theyve been helping in the in the initial days and rescue operations as well as in relief efforts so a lot of symbolism here because mccrone chose to return on on a day where lebannon marks 100 years since the declaration of the state of greater lebanon on that declaration was proclaimed by france the french mandate authorities have to remember lebanon was a French Colonial france france was living on the former colonial power so this is france reviving its influence in lebanon saying that you know we we are we hold we hold keys to to find a political solution theres also another message france is saying that it can be a mediator between the rivalry between the United States and iran the u. S. And iran have local allies. In lebanon and france is standing in the middle so really a lot of symbolism in the very fact that the french official mccrone chose not to meet political players before visiting pharaohs who is the unifying figure in lebanon before planting a tree to mark the 100 years of lebanons nationhood and visiting the port really sends a lot of messages on who is who is the main power broker today in the country so it is just as you were talking were just seeing pictures now of what we believe to be a helicopter landing on an Aircraft Carrier i think and we also saw pictures of the fly pass that was made in his honor the last time that Emmanuel Mccomb was here he was greeted by crowds of people he was hugging them they were cheering him but how do lebanese people feel about the fact that france now has such a firm grip in lebanese politics. Well there are mixed feelings you mention how he was welcomed in disaster stricken neighborhoods he was seen as the savior he did what no lebanese official has since done and that is meet the people talk to those who survived the blast and many believed after the International Community is stepping in to force the lebanese Political Class who have been governing this country for decades to change to leave power to carry out much needed reforms but now there is some are blaming him for agreeing or backing the appointment of a new Prime Minister who many believe is just the product of the system and that he is no different than the Political Class and that he will be held hostage but mccrone has been trying to explain to the lebanese people theres only so much france can do those in power were elected and france cannot intervene but he is promising in an interview with the politico that in 3 months if there is no fundamental change france and the International Community have tools that they can use and that is impose sanctions on politic. Who are not engaging in the process of reform as well as withhold much needed Financial Assistance to revive the economy so the french president using the carrot and the stick mixed feelings with some who believe that you know change can be brought about with International Pressure while others believe that this is interference in the internal affairs of levanon they were mentioning before course that most of the idea has now become the Prime Minister designate of lebanon he is determined he said yesterday in statements that he was determined to move the country ahead that there had to be an interim government of these 2 technocrats and. Officials who were specialists in this particular areas to be able to try and get lebanon out of the situation in which it finds itself particularly in the economic crisis its facing but one of the key issues that has always been faced by governments is allegations of corruption is there any indication of what most of us. Will have to do to prove to the people of lebanon that his government is free from those allegations. Like you mentioned many believe he is a hostage of the political establishment who appointed him the different parliamentary blocs that nominated him is announcement really came as a surprise hes a little known figure which leads many in lebanon to believe that there was some sort of Deal International and local deal to bring him to power many are skeptical that he can bring about change youre going to need the parliament for example to adopt a anticorruption laws and those anticorruption laws will be used to go after corrupt officials so many believe how will those officials ratify a law that would threaten their own interests and ministers some Political Parties will have to agree not to be in control of state institutions because the state is so weak that Political Parties control state institutions and they exploit these resources for example they absorb. Employment by giving jobs government jobs to their supporters when you know there is no need theres a bloated a Public Sector which these Political Parties use to ensure that their supporters stay loyal to them so its a difficult difficult challenges ahead but if the International Community is going to maintain the pressure to tell them that if you dont reform youre not getting money then these politicians will be left with little little choice because how can they rule theyre going to roll over what a collapsed state how will they continue to provide their supporters with salaries at the end of the month so lebanon really is at a critical crossroads but clearly what we have seen from the Political Class protests have been happening for almost a year now is that theyre refusing to give up power as in a just as youre talking were seeing french president in my own mock wrong step down from the helicopter he was greeted by military officials. What appeared to be social distancing hes now appears to be inspecting. Guards of i believe naval and military troops who are on guard let me ask you about the level of influence that the public in lebanon has in all of this because at the moment were talking about france were talking about the lebanese politicians were not talking yet about whether or not the people in lebanon are going to stand for lebanese politicians who fail to deliver what they are promising to deliver is there a sense from where you are that there is a growing anger and fury over and above what there already is amongst lebanese people to make sure that these politicians do what they say that theyre going to do to hold them accountable. Youre right theres anger there is rage many people would like to see change but they have little tools to bring about the change back in. October we saw mass demonstrations across the country but at least the same number of people remained in their homes remained loyal to the different sectarian Political Parties for many reasons some of them logical some of them they were benefiting from these Political Parties i mentioned earlier how they get positions in government when they belong to a certain Political Party and you have others who are afraid of the alternative and who believe the rhetoric that sectarian parties have been using stay with us we will protect you from them so this is how sectarian parties stay in power they create this divide among among the different communities in lebanon yes today levanon commemorates 100 years since the declaration of the state of greater lebanon but there is no state there are sectarian states if you like in this country and that is why building a nation state is quite difficult and it doesnt serve the interest of the Political Parties in power because they automatically become weaker when the state to become stronger but every time people took to the streets they were faced with the militarized state Security Forces used Excessive Force the last time just a few weeks ago live ammunition over hughes so that is why people are so afraid to return to the streets sometimes they dont bring their children with them anymore because of this Excessive Force that the authorities use and theyre not just up against the militarized state theyre up against dogs who belong to the sectarian Political Parties who have beaten up Peaceful Protesters in the streets over the years so it is a very difficult battle even the judiciary is controlled by politicians judges are appointed by politicians so one of the reforms the International Community has been demanding is for an independent judiciary so this dish judiciary can go after a corrupt officials so big challenges lay ahead the people on the street really do not have the tools to bring about that change and that is why theyre clinging on to the into. National community hoping that its the International Community that will exert pressure on the politicians to change we also understand that france in that interview with politico talked about early elections but then again if you have an election tomorrow the torah law is tailored to serve the sectarian traditional parties in power as an independent because of this threshold system its very hard to break that barrier zenith thanks very much indeed obviously well be coming back to you as emmanuel markdowns visit carries on through today but for now thank you very much indeed.
